Can't sign in online to my Microsoft account if my computer is logged into a local account

I used to be able to access my Microsoft account online with my Microsoft credentials when my computer was logged in with a local account. Apparently Microsoft no longer likes that and requires the computer to be logged into your Microsoft account. I am on W11 24H2.

    Search for "OneDrive" in the Start Menu and open it

    It will prompt you to sign in with your Microsoft account

    This will sync your files to the cloud
